So sleek to be a SUV!! This luxury car has a great price compared to some others on the market. The changes to both the interior and exterior are amazing and are sure to be favorable to the success of this vehicle.
Compare to Audi Q7, this Infiniti QX60 is definitely the winner. The interior is more spacious and the backseat of QX60 gives more room to stretch. Aside from QX60 being cheaper that Audi Q7, its exterior is also more elegant in styling
The cargo space of 2016 Infiniti QX60 is larger than its competitors. Also, the exterior looks very luxurious for midsize SUVs.
This is one promising car. The exterior looks very luxurious and that interior is pure joy. The engine is good enough I’d have to say. I think it’s going to be successful.
I’m not familiar with other Infiniti models, but this one looks like a winner. Love the design both interior and exterior. Seems to be a proper family car in my opinion.
taking the fuel economy into consideration is good news. other external and internal features are also great. looks luxurious and promising.
This hybrid model definitely suits the new body kit. And the new set of 20 inch rims is just tasteful.
Living in North Idaho AWD is so important. Seems like Infinity hit all the power buttons with this one. Electric is going to be the new black. What a great looking SUV and not the horrid mileage of the past.
This Infiniti is luxury at its best. It’s another ride I can’t afford but man it’s definitely a dream to work towards!
